The developers of The Ultima 6 Remake (an Exult mod) have posted a short update to their Facebook page, which has become their normal means of communicating with those interested in the project:

Still plugging along. The basic structure of the gargoyle land is complete, just have to clean it up then add the buildings!

So that’s good news; the project is still healthy and ongoing, and one of the more interesting areas of the Ultima 6 map is nearly complete.

No word yet on a demo or a release date, of course; the project will be out when it’s done. Hopefully we’ll at least get a few new screenshots in the near future. I, for one, would like to see the Gargish pyramids as they have been rendered in the Ultima 7 engine.
